11.04 upgrade No Internet Connection Error

[Raistlin82]

Hi all, apologies if there is already a post on this, I didn't see one. Whilst doing the upgrade my internet connection was interrupted, this stopped the upgrade process. I restarted the system and all is working fine, except that when I go to upgrade I get a message telling me that there is no internet connection. There definitely is a connection, hence me being able to post here! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running 10.04.

system admin network
ifconfig

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Hi there

It was from an automated window, so presumably software center, I am in the process of going through the terminal using sudo command, seems to be working although download rate is very slow, guessing the servers are getting hammered at the minute.

Apparently I was missing "minimal-ubuntu" package, I reinstalled but this didnt help, but like I say the terminal method appears to be working... fingers crossed!

Edit: should have said the terminal command I put in was "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop" I havent put in the the output you requested in case it interferes with the current install!

Update:

Ok so I dont have the internet access problem but now I get

I just got the exact same errors, hours wasted.

Pain in the backside

[mikeqtoo]

plus Raistlin82 I also had your original error about no internet connection.

These are errors are nothing to do with our machines, I think they were having issues with their upgrade servers.

A 403 error which again is to do with their servers not our machines. 403 means those files are not accessible by whatever process is being run at their end.

Just ran the upgrade again from the Upgrade Manager and good news is that it is only downloading those missing files it couldn't earlier, which also means that Canonical have fixed the permissions issue with those files. My machine is now installing the upgrades step in the process.

Succesfully went through the upgrade last night, however it would appear to have wiped grub off my system all together. Tried reinstalling but so far without any luck, have looked at so so many sites and posts but none have led to a solution, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Its frying my brain.... trying my best not to teach the laptop to fly at the moment!! I'm dualbooting (or at least was..) ubuntu and Vista.
